My wife and I just had a baby so I've been a bit distracted lately. I'll post a progress report after I get a chance to get an update from Vadim.

Thanks. That's really considerate of you. It feels great. I'm already thinking about custom building him an aluminum/carbon fiber big wheel. I want to get him started young.

According to Lucas, Schrick is the company that makes the cams for BRABUS.. $800 for each V8 cam is pretty good price compared to BRABUS's pricing...good god!

I guess Lucas is right though, just buy the cams, air filters and a brabus badge.. your not losing anything without that engine cover, unless ofcourse you are showing your car and want something to display under the hood.

Schrick is a huge company which develop / produce cams and engines for most German car manufactors, you can't go wrong with them.

If Valve springs where needed, Schrick will list them.

I have sold quite a few cams for 112 and 113, and they don't come with springs.

If Schrick doesen't list the Valve springs, you can safely keep the stock springs.

I never only mounted the cams on a NASP engine, only on engines with heavy mods, but between 10-20 on V6 and 20-30 HP on V8 should be very realistic.

It's very difficult to say exactly, but I am sure it won't hurt.

The cams gives higher lift and longer opening time = better flow
in and out, so it will for sure increase HP, how much exactly would be a long shot.

Call KLEEMANN USA, then they will take care of it for you.

I can't remember the price, I belive the V8 is 2-2200,00 $ for the set, the V6 is a little cheaper.
